Manslaughter, drug crimes dominate Knox County grand jury indictments

ROCKLAND, Maine — The Knox County grand jury indicted a 29-year-old man for manslaughter Thursday. Another 50 indictments also were handed up.

Brian Boody of Rockland, who was indicted for manslaughter, was the driver of a car that slid off Sennebec Road in Appleton and smashed into a tree last May, according to a police report. A passenger in the vehicle, 24-year-old Morgan Wadsworth of Rockland, was killed in the accident.

Boody was not wearing his seat belt and was injured in the accident.

The indictment does not go into detail, but states that “Boody did recklessly or with criminal negligence cause death to another human being.”

Dominating the list of 50 other indictments were 25 related to drugs. The most prevalent drugs associated with those indictments were schedule W — heroin, cocaine, methadone, hydrocodone, suboxone, oxycodone, ritalin and adderall.
